I can't say I'm a believer but it's definitely a fun theory. It's been a while but there was a couple reddit threads about it and even a whole timeline on citadel/wiki site. It gets pretty tinfoily but the show definitely throws it more than a few bones.

It's mostly about eurons personality being similar to Daario, then in AFfc there's a huge gap in the timeline where Daario disappears for months while he is supposedly putting down the lhazareen. It's during this gap that euron first appears in the kingsmoot where everyone remarks about him...

I'll be happy if they cut out the whole victarion/greyjoy chunk of the remaining books to be honest. I hated just about everything about them. BUT, the Euron=Daario theory is one of the most amusing theories out there and Show-Daario "stealing" 93 ships this season (exactly the amount Euron...

So yeah, Myrcella is recast for s5 in addition to casting Maggy the frog and young Cersei presumably for the Valonqar. Hopefully we'll get something about Howland Reed or a young Lyanna for S5 since if they're ever gonna do RL+J theyre gonna need more than a couple monologues from season one...

Dunk and egg is almost certainly the 'other' asoiaf project they mentioned in that interview.

I'm pretty happy with the character changes they've made. But the adaptation is strongest when they fill in events that aren't in the povs in the books. Things like cersei and Robert's final conversation in s1 where they define the entirety of robert's character with one line of dialogue (he...

You want a nerd panic? Then think about this: If you were the showrunner and you had the ending years in advance then you know now that it'll cost many hundreds of millions to film the series climax in a way that does justice to the books.... Then you have a real production/financial/structural...

They evened out the Brienne and Bran PoVs into s3 and 4 but there's still a ton of development for the Faith Militant/High Sparrow uprising and Cersei/Margaery's trials. Arya's training in braavos will prolly be shot in spain along with the sunspear stuff. Just the setups for Dorne/Trystane...

HBO alreadygreenlit seasons 5 and 6,similar to how seasons 3 and 4 were greenlit together and for pretty much the same reason they split asos into two seasons. There's a TON of content there even without the shitty greyjoys in affc and Tyrion riverboatting with Aegon in adwd.

The problem is the series' climactic episodes will make Blackwater and S4e9's production costs look like a drop in the bucket. The series is gonna have to have a final Stalingrad moment at some point. All the remaining survivors finally end up in one desperate, hopeless siege against the...

It's easy to think that since the victarion shit is out but Affc+Adwd is fucking massive. They had to split book 3 into 2 seasons, theres no doubt they'll have plenty of material for s5 just with AFFC. They've already made casting calls for the Dorne Shit (including Areo Hotah and a new...

Only a year of this to go. Thread is fine.

It might not be a lot of screentime tho... if they ramp up the High Sparrow's populist/religious uprising through the season, newly-rich Bronn and his highborn wife would be the most audience-friendly way to draw parallels with the french reign of terror/ye-olde-guillotine-time.

Bronn is definitely coming back next season. They even cast his wife.

You could've easily done the greenseer without CGI... would've been cheaper to have a molded rubber mask and costume to provide the roots effect. In fact they did the same thing for Jaime's hand: they could've blue-screened it like they did with Lieutenant Dan's legs in Forrest Gump but they...

You're right, multibillion-dollar entertainment empires got that way by alienating and antagonizing their rabid consumers.

Pretty sure bookfags are more curious WHY Jaime kills Cersei at this point; not how or when. But casting Maggy and young Cersei (imogen) for the prophecy next season is gonna be tricky since the show hasn't established that Cersei is the eldest sibling, whereas the book has mentioned that...

Pale white throat.

Kinda wanna marry her now:

No she never pulled the trigger like that in the books... admitting to and then threatening to reveal the incest was the nuclear option for her against Tywin. The following scene with her banging Jaime in the Kingsguard office was her roping Jaime into her side considering how stingy she's been...

UnGregor vs. monk-hound is gonna be epic if unGregor is really undead with qyburn's wight experiments... since then the only way to kill him would be with FIRE. So yeah it's pretty much a redemption story that's been written into sandor since the beginning.

Jon's death will have a billion fangirls queefing their tampons at the TV simultaneously.

Wellp I guess that's how they got around the need to recast Bran or having hodor haul a teenage Bran around: they just fast forward a couple thousand pages! I wonder if Jojen stays dead in the books too and this ends up being the second book spoiler this season (after the Night's King)...

So like orange is the new black rebooted as a federation five year mission?

Not a trek fan? It wasa bit of both but it was mostly Treksince Ford turned out to be a Trekkie in his biography and the SHOW enterprise was named after the space shuttle BEFORE the space shuttle was named after the show enterprise.

That's the team baelish ending sure. I always thought that the only reason Stoneheart got written in was to set up the most narrative-consistent and rewarding ending for Littlefinger as possible. In fact, the show has done much more to telegraph Littlefinger's obsession with Cat than the book...

How do YOU imagine Littlefinger eventually dies?

haha ya everyone made a clone. I coded on Amiga until the last couple years of high school but my family had a fucking HYUNDAI clone. I remember it being 96% compatible was a big selling point.

Its about a (fictionalized) company's effort to cleanroom clone the IBM bios. Which is weird since they mentioned columbia in the show, which ACTUALLY already successfully cleanroomed the bios (tho not entirely, it was like 92% compatible lol). I guess having a bunch of neckbeards in bunny...

Same way the original Drogo did... as a baby.

One of the interesting theories is that Mirri Maz Duur's dying curse ("When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, when the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves, when your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child.") isn't actually a curse but a prophecy. The...

Iron Isles maybe? The Crownlands are technically large enough to be considered one but it was never a sovereign kingdom before Aegon. Kings Landing was a trading freehold for a hundred years before Aegon was born. Apparently the Targaryens had been on Dragonstone for a century or more before...

Yeah that's kinda the problem... it's gonna be the 20th anniversary this october and the franchise just doesn't have the fandom that got Trek through a whole generation in the wilderness. By its 20th anniversary Trek had 3 wide-release full feature films, a new series in the works and a...

UnCat is only really interesting because of all the possible ways she's likely to end Littlefinger's story. Littlefinger running into ZombieCat (who has somehow learned about his role in bran/ned/robb) at the end of his storyline is exactly the sort of cosmic fuck you GRRM likes to roll with.

Well ep9 was 51mins long... about 8mins shorter than the rest of season on average which suggests they just MOVED the stannis rescue scene to the finale. That's the thing about all the meh ep9 reviews--think about how the reviewers wouldve reacted instead if it ended with the Mannis swooping...

I'm pretty excited about the Tysha reveal. Either Dinklage and Jaime sells that scene so hard that theyre guaranteed an emmy or they don't and Tyrion/Tywin will feel flat. If they sell it well enough it's prolly worthwhile fiming reaction videos for since it's a great omfg moment.

That's why I was thinking some kind of fan sourced thing that just redid the cgi like those star trek fan things. Hell at this point u can just boot up an X:3 babylon5 mod, fraps the key cgi scenes and that would prolly be better than the cgi in the first three seasons.

I'm actually kinda surprised there hasn't been a fan remaster of the show that modernizes its cgi. A couple students with blender could do an episode for their finals and prolly improve on the original shit. There's like whole seasons of fan-sourced trek stuff out there.

Not Coltaine and the Wickans? Not Felisin? Yeah, that's definitely ass backwards.
